Warrior Princess: Next Moves

POP ALERT

June 16, 2001|By Tara Weiss

What's a Warrior Princess to do now that she's officially out of a job? Yup, that's right, after six seasons, Lucy Lawless, also known as Xena Warrior Princess, is hanging up her breastplate, sword and shield. (The two-hour series finale will be broadcast in one-hour blocks at 5 p.m. today on WTIC, Channel 61, and at 5 p.m. June 23. It will also be shown in full at 5 p.m. June 24 on WTXX, Channel 20.)

Here are a few suggestions for the Warrior Princess' next (career) moves:

*Donate her breastplate to Madonna, now that the Material Girl is back on tour and probably in need of one.

*Become the new Billy Blanks, tae-bo king.

*With her nimble acrobatics, surely Xena can be a tough contender for a spot on New Zealand's gymnastics team for the next SummerOlympics.

*We hear Ellen DeGeneres is looking for a Warrior Princess for her new CBS comedy.
